- Scientists discover a strange hidden state in “sandwich” molecules
Scientists have discovered a previously unobserved intermediate state in metallocenes, sandwich-like molecules with applications in catalysis and medicine. The discovery reveals a rare 'double ring-slip' phenomenon where both carbon rings partially detach from a metal atom, providing new insights into how these molecules assemble and transform.
